The WHO condemned an assault on al-Mujlad hospital in Sudan, resulting in over 40 civilian casualties amid the ongoing civil war. With fighting between military and paramilitary forces that broke out in April 2023, Sudan faces a severe humanitarian crisis, leading to tens of thousands of deaths and millions displaced. WHO Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus urged an end to attacks on health facilities. The RSF blamed the military for the hospital strike, asserting it violated international law, while the military denied wrongdoing, claiming to target militia rather than civilians.
We cannot say this louder: attacks on health must stop everywhere! The attack on al-Mujlad hospital is a blatant violation of humanitarian law.
The Rapid Support Forces strongly condemn and denounce the barbaric aggression, stating that this attack constitutes a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law.
